Dodenakker

erizen826
06.20.14 | I just bought Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death. It was 99 cents and looks hilariously cheesy. |
Whispered4tw
06.20.14 | finally actually bought Mirror's Edge after playing a pirated copy years ago. |
Azn.
06.20.14 | probably will pick up binding of isaac although I already played it through; somebody buy CSGO and play with me |
demigod!
06.20.14 | if CSGO is dirt cheap which it probably will be ill be picking it up |
Azn.
06.20.14 | it dropped to like 2 bucks last summer, chances are there'll be another sale |
Phlegm
06.20.14 | gaming is for nerds and social rejects. go do something productive like BMX riding. |
Ayeohh
06.20.14 | Thinking about buying Continue?9876543210 but Im very iffy since im not sure my laptop can run the game |
emester
06.20.14 | My pc is so out of date D: |
AmericanFlagAsh
06.20.14 | I need to not buy too much stuff. Yet I have already bought 3 games.
I always buy a ton and never play some. :( |
Calc
06.20.14 | dooo ittt anywaayy |
Yuli
06.20.14 | I'm waiting and hoping a Civ game goes on sale |
Calc
06.20.14 | I have civ 5. and 4 but i aint installing that again. |
owen
06.20.14 | daily reminder that you have to check Kinguin before you buy anything |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.20.14 | I'll buy Portal 2, Payday 2 and Audiosurf 2 since I already bought most of the games that I'm
interested in, like DayZ, Age of Empires II or pretty much anything made by Valve |
Yuli
06.20.14 | Never actually played a Civ game, but I'm aiming to jump in with 5! |
Calc
06.20.14 | I'd get payday 2 but since the new battlefield game was announced i'm prolly gonna just get that used |
owen
06.20.14 | please vote for Cyberpunk sale, I want EYE
thanks < 3 |
Azn.
06.20.14 | EYE is such a good game, although it's poorly made |
Calc
06.20.14 | Civ 5 is on sale now I just saw. still 20 bucks though |
Calc
06.22.14 | payday 2 is so fun |
TheGreatQ
06.22.14 | I got System Shock 2, don't know if I'll be getting anything else but I keep looking at what's on sale. |
BigPleb
06.22.14 | Any recs, guys? |
Sabrutin
06.22.14 | Just grabbed Betrayer for 4 euros. I love the F.E.A.R. games, so it's a must buy for me (same guys who
made the first one). |
ILJ
06.22.14 | So far I've bought Papers, Please and the Borderlands pack. May pick up some others if the prices drop low enough
God bless steam sales |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.22.14 | Buy Age of Empires II guiiiise, it's a classiccccc |
Sabrutin
06.22.14 | You all should buy the entire fucking series of Tomb Raider for 18 euros if you are interested in it. |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.22.14 | Valve Complete Pack is at $37.49, I suppose most of us have almost every valve game, but for those who doesn't, it's like the best deal ever |
Sabrutin
06.22.14 | ^ This |
erizen826
06.23.14 | Euro Truck Simulator 2 bitchesssss |
ZombicidalMan
06.23.14 | Fable TLC for $2 (only 22 minutes remaining!) |
ILJ
06.23.14 | Bought Spelunky and Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition |
erizen826
06.23.14 | Just got Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater for $2.49
Thank you based Valve for this bountiful offering of awesome games at low prices. We love you. |
GhettoHmbrglr
06.23.14 | so far:
super meat boy, papers please, rainbow 6 collection, tony hawks pro skater, vampire: the masquerade, betrayer. |
Calc
06.23.14 | can any of you cool cats tell me wtf "rougelike" means |
Sabrutin
06.23.14 | @Calc: I guess that the easiest way to answer you is "The Binding of Isaac".
Randomly generated dungeons with tons of unlockables. If you die, say goodbye to everything you got so far, because you'll restart from the beginning.
|
Calc
06.23.14 | huh...don't think i've ever played something like that. and futures, you know people are gonna say dark souls is good. i for one hated it. I don't like slow clunky controls |
Sabrutin
06.23.14 | If you want to try a roguelike experience I suggest you to try the mentioned The Binding of Isaac.
It's at 5 euros now (and the DLC at 2, and it adds quite a lot). Also, Rogue Legacy it's a roguelike
as well and it's in the daily deals (I haven't played it myself though). |
erizen826
06.24.14 | Risk of Rain and Spelunky are also great rougelikes. |
owen
06.24.14 | Neither of those are roguelikes, they are good games tho.
RNG + permadeath doesn't mean it's a Roguelike.
One Way Heroics, Dungeons of Dredmor and Tales of Maj'Eyal are great roguelikes.
Also if anyone wants to play RoR, you can join my steam group
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/virginsofrain/
If you're able to host, PM me and I'll make sure you will be able to post announcements |
TheBarber
06.24.14 | Finally bought FEZ and am a happy man |
GhettoHmbrglr
06.24.14 | @futures dark souls will be the best $5 you ever spent if you invest the time it takes to learn the game. download the ds_fix before you play it, and also you will need to play with a controller. no way around that, unfortunately. |
TheNexus100
06.24.14 | rogue legacy rools! |
TheNexus100
06.24.14 | and dark souls 1 is incredible but it stinks on pc |
kris.
06.24.14 | that's why you download DSFix and then it's the best thing ever
haven't bought much yet, just Don't Starve. |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | which is the best civ game to a newcomer? |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | I have no idea how steam works, only just set it up so i could play empire total war |
kris.
06.24.14 | everyone add me on steam uhhhkris |
TheNexus100
06.24.14 | most people say civ 5 is actually great to start with. i kind of loathe the whole series though |
kris.
06.24.14 | i played civ 5 for like 8 hours straight the first time i played it. haven't touched it since. |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | impression I got was that civ 4 was a culmination of all the previous games and civ 5 took a completely new direction |
guitarded_chuck
06.24.14 | might cop civ 5
been jammin dota 2 in my spare time cause all my friends play it, it's alright
the community is a bunch of tryhard fucktards tho but it makes trolling fun as hell |
TheNexus100
06.24.14 | true, fish usually civ 5 is maybe better to start because its more accessible. but 4 is kind of the mixed bag of all previous titles, but wont be as easy to jump into
it depends how many strategy games you play I guess. Its not a simple game to grasp by any means |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | only really have experience of total war (rome, barbarian invasion & empire)
"the community is a bunch of tryhard fucktards tho but it makes trolling fun as hell"
explain lol |
TheNexus100
06.24.14 | personally i find total war and civ to have depth for sure, but they're so fucking boring. play age of empires instead best series ever 10/10 classic |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | oh yeah I played age of empires 3 quite a bit back in the day |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | been playing E:TW high with headphones to get all that sweet atmosphere and it's been sick but it does get pretty boring after a while |
TheNexus100
06.24.14 | just not for me. aoe 2 and aoe 3 are amazing. i hear plannetary annihilation is sick also
also, anno 2070 is an amazing rts |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | i've got a powerful gaming laptop so it's about time I started using it for that
gonna get gta 5 when it comes out |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | is there anywhere that does good varied accurate gaming reviews cos the main reviewing sites are just so bad |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | anno 2070 looks good |
Calc
06.24.14 | if you feel brave fish check out sins of a solar empire |
anarchistfish
06.24.14 | all of these games look good tbh but the idea of my own space empire is a tempting one |
TheGreatQ
06.24.14 | Galactic Civilizations 1 and 2 are a lot of fun. Never played Sins though so I can't compare them. |
Calc
06.24.14 | yeah not even the same kind of strategy I think. |
Chortles
06.24.14 | super meat boy is the best game of all time everyone buy it
almost bought gone home yesterday but i accidentally read a spoiler so |
owen
06.24.14 | why would you even want to buy gone home lol |
Chortles
06.24.14 | idk man it looked kinda neat |
joomisy
06.24.14 | Got a few ones
Super Meat Boy
Hitman Absolution
Nether
Some others I think too, def need to get more though |
joomisy
06.24.14 | Oh yeah and R6V2 and Unreal tournamet Black I believe
Btw, anyone know if the UT3 community is still active? |
ILJ
06.25.14 | Super Meat Boy is fucking glorious and ridiculously hard.
I don't touch it often but when I do I have a blast. |
ILJ
06.25.14 | I want to get UT but I don't want to buy it if people don't play it anymore |
Calc
06.25.14 | people are prolly playing it now, for like a week |
laucha1266
06.25.14 | 70 more cents and i can get bastion.... fuck |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | SR3 or SR4?
keeping in mind i intend to get blazed so excess is encouraged |
GreyShadow
06.27.14 | I got Mass Effect 1/2 and Bastion. Haven't tried Bastion yet but it seems legit and i'm having a ball with Mass Effect. i'm hoping for a good deal on DmC if possible |
Slut

Ovrot
06.27.14 | I've spent like 8 bucks on 6 games
whats wrong with me i thought i had standards |
GhettoHmbrglr
06.27.14 | To the guy above I recommend saints row 3 vs 4 it was a lot less buggy for me and its very entertaining. |
Funeralopolis
06.27.14 | bought marlow briggs thats it tho |
Rowan5215
06.27.14 | Bought Amnesia: the Dark Descent which I wanted for ages |
guitarded_chuck
06.27.14 | "explain lol"
game is just extremely intricate and complex, highly competitive, yet requires team organization to be successful
the result is all kindza rage amongst the peoples |
guitarded_chuck
06.27.14 | kinda surprised not a lot of people play it on here tbh, game is uber popular |
TheBarber
06.27.14 | Just bought Closure and Dust: tail something, both look rad |
kris.
06.27.14 | dust's artwork is so fucking dumb, talking anime animals and shit. furry's wet dream. i refuse to play it now. |
Calc
06.27.14 | wow I didn't know people actually let artwork keep them from playing a game lol |
kris.
06.27.14 | when your game looks like deviantart fanart bullshit, yea
im not playin it |
Calc
06.27.14 | hehe cool |
Whispered4tw
06.27.14 | Haul update:
Payday 2
Dungeon Defenders
Double Dragon Neon
Metal Slug 3
Castle Crushers
Gotta stock up on some co-op games for summer. |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | alright dl'd sr4
having to play it on low settings for it to run smooth and I should probably get a cooling pad cos this is only a laptop after all but it's p fun so far |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | gonna get GTA 4, maybe the whole pack, and mayyybe CIV 5 |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | sleeping dogs looks cool too |
owen
06.27.14 | get System Shock 2 boys and girls |
demigod!
06.27.14 | fuck yeah ive been wanting to play that
also idk if its on sale but if it is everyone should buy the oddbox cuz if you haven't played Oddworld you haven't LIVED |
North0House2
06.27.14 | I'm probably gonna get Blockland. That was the best game back in the day, and it's like $3 right now so I might as well redownload it considering I lost it.
Looking at Risk of Rain and Magicite right now.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T, GET HOTLINE MIAMI. RAD GAME. |
Winsomniac
06.27.14 | Please to be giving me your trading cards |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | anyone able to recommend tropico 4? |
Winsomniac
06.27.14 | Tropico 4:
You don't get to play a goat, and you also don't get to play Dota 2.
1/10 would not recommend |
Calc
06.27.14 | its 3 bucks though and its an empire building game there's no way its not worth it |
menawati
06.27.14 | got tropico 4 a few weeks ago for £3 got totally addicted to it was a lot of fun, just bought the two metro games hope they will be good |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | Metro rules mena, you'll like those games
I just bought Dishonored just as good too |
demigod!
06.27.14 | guys, first 2 oddworld games are going for $2 right now
if you like uniquely puzzling platformers with dark, comedic charm and a desolate dystopian setting (not to mention a killer story)... GET THIS PACK! 2 of the best games ever; 2 of the best bucks you'll ever spend
trust me |
Chortles
06.27.14 | sounds right up my alley damn
close to buying age of empires II and system shock 2 as well rn |
demigod!
06.27.14 | hell yeah guys
and yeh i just picked up system shock 2 it looks sweet. how much is aoe2? i loved that game as a kid |
Hyperion1001
06.27.14 | system shock 2 is basically the best game ever made |
Chortles
06.27.14 | aoe is $5, seems worth it
|
menawati
06.27.14 | i stock up on so many games during these sales but only end up playing about 10% of them its daft |
demigod!
06.27.14 | awesome. i'm a huge fan of bioshock 1 as well as infinite, ken levine is a brilliant writer
stoked |
Calc
06.27.14 | what kind of game is SS2? like fallout 2? kinda? |
demigod!
06.27.14 | @futures yeah they're all good, munch and stranger are pretty diff though (munch is kind of a 3d
platformer and stranger's sort of a fps/rpg/crazy western adventure) |
Hyperion1001
06.27.14 | @calc its likean earlier version of a mixture of of bioshock, mass effect, dead space, and the baldurs gate games all in like a lovecraftian/hr giger space environment
it rules a lot |
demigod!
06.27.14 | word man just gotta warn ya oddysee is hard as fuck (mostly due to the shitty save system)
fixed it in exoddus tho |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | "its likean earlier version of a mixture of of bioshock, mass effect, dead space, "
£1?
bought |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | "aoe is $5, seems worth it"
Totally, nothing better than a safe way to play a classic online, specially with the new expansion |
KILL
06.27.14 | ss2 is life changing good purchase |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | complete gta pack, tropico 4 and ss2 for a total of £10.27
not bad |
menawati
06.27.14 | tropico 4 was the first thing i played to the end for ages, if you can get into it it becomes really compulsive |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | anyone played sleeping dogs? |
Mort.
06.27.14 | yeah
its erm not that great imo. or do you mean watch dogs? |
KILL
06.27.14 | yea its great, its like a better version of true crime games, the graphics at night are stunning too |
KILL
06.27.14 | fuck watch dogs i was looking forward to it but i shoulda knonw better ufckin ubisoft |
Mort.
06.27.14 | ive given up on games in general. gonna play dark souls 2. dont really have anything else im interested in games wise after that |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | nah sleeping dogs. looks good though I'm heaping up all these open world games so I wonder if I'll even get round to playing it
prob won't be able to run it at high settings so graphics are kinda irrelevant :/
tempted to try left 4 dead |
KILL
06.27.14 | ds2 is real good, much better port than the first but idk it just doesnt have the same atmosphere as the first two games, and the bosses are too fuckin easy cept pursuer who was a cunt |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | "tempted to try left 4 dead"
Every steam user needs l4d2, probably the finest coop experience |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | dark souls sounds like the kind of game that would just piss me off |
menawati
06.27.14 | wish theyd put asscreed black flag down under 10 quid i refuse to pay more than that for any pc game (yeh am cheapskate) |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | Black Flag is not that good imo |
KILL
06.27.14 | pirate it martin i thought you were an anarchist, dont give ubicunts your dime |
menawati
06.27.14 | really cant be bothered to go to the effort of pirating games when i can get things for 3 quid, less than a beer |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | i gave up with AC partway through III
used to absolutely love it and couldn't wait to complete the story but they dragged it out with all these tedious side missions and boring stories and in the end I just lost interest |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | "really cant be bothered to go to the effort of pirating games when i can get things for 3 quid, less than a beer"
[2] |
KILL
06.27.14 | lol aint much effort but alright, ur a better man than i am, i only pirate from the publishers i hate tho, support the indies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | sometimes i feel guilty for pirating stuff but then i remember i'm a communist |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | "used to absolutely love it and couldn't wait to complete the story but they dragged it out with all these tedious side missions and boring stories and in the end I just lost interest"
Fact: UBI destroys every saga, Assasins's Creed, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, etc, etc, etc |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | do people still play l4d? |
KILL
06.27.14 | they are useless, altho ass creed started off pretty shitty anyway, 2 was awesome tho |
menawati
06.27.14 | "support the indies"
that 'no man sky' thing looks amazing hope it lives up to the hype |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | "do people still play l4d?"
I play l4d2 a lot with friends, and there are still many servers. Valve games will always be played in steam |
KILL
06.27.14 | "that 'no man sky' thing looks amazing hope it lives up to the hype"
looks mental, not sure what you actually do in the game but just wanderin around would be cool enough |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | yeah I don't really have any friends who game outside of fifa on 360 |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | If you want "experimental" experiences just go with the Stanley Parable, it's a short game but hell it was great (and hilarious) |
kris.
06.27.14 | i keep tellin myself i wont give ubisoft anymore money but then i bought blood dragon and blacklist without even realizing it and now i hate myself, gonna pirate watch dogs tonight in protest |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | they're horrible but at the same time i feel like I should be doing my part to contribute to the francophone master race
my pc can't even run it tho |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | Most of the good UBI series came through Red Storm Entertainment after UBI bought them, then... UBI destroyed those series lol |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | no man's sky looks insane
those kinds of crazy concepts always seem to disappoint in reality though
"If you want "experimental" experiences just go with the Stanley Parable, it's a short game but hell it was great (and hilarious)"
worth £6.70/$11.30?
anyone recommend LA Noire? last game I'm gonna look into before I check out. looks kinda cool but potentially boring |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | i like games where the cars go really fast :/ |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | i prefer killing civilians tbh
saints row is perfect for me |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | fish, download Stanley Parable's demo, it gives a pretty good feeling of the game |
ZombicidalMan
06.27.14 | just grabbed sir, you are being hunted for $10
I've died so many times already but it's awesome. If you want atmospheric games, check out System Shock 2 and Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. I already rec'd them earlier but damn they are both masterpieces |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | that's long man. i'd rather just jump into the game |
ZombicidalMan
06.27.14 | yeah, I installed the oblivion lost mod and holy fuck. I have to save pretty much every time I clear a
room because it's that easy to get murdered. On the plus side, enemies die just as easily and bullets
no longer ricochet or miss a la vanilla Stalker |
anarchistfish
06.27.14 | this stanley thing looks like some meta ketamine fuelled shit
not sure tbh |
ZombicidalMan
06.27.14 | Over the years I've tried a lot of mods for it, but I'd say Stalker Complete is the best and Oblivion Lost is the most fun/difficult. Lost Alpha is supposed to be good but I haven't tried it yet |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.27.14 | fish, trust me, try the demo, it has gameplay that's not in the game, so it's like a mini game with different content that still shows you how the full game is |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | played it
somehow really confusing yet really boring |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | subverting game expectations somehow isn't that fun when it's the point of that particular game |
ILJ
06.28.14 | Grabbed the Brave New World EP for Civ 5, pumped |
ILJ
06.28.14 | i'm really glad i took a risk and bought the EPs cause quite honestly the base game was kind of terrible. |
ILJ
06.28.14 | not terrible in the sense that it was a bad game but it paled in comparison to Civ IV with all the EPs. |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | think I'm gonna drop CIV 5 tbh. watching the gameplay looks a bit boring so I might just stick with total war and tropico rather than spend more money on turn based games i might not play
la noire looks cool though so i'll probs give that a go |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | never played half life. I know it's considered a classic and all but would it really hold up in 2014 to a newcomer? |
ILJ
06.28.14 | well watching gameplay of Civ V is boring but playing it is totally different. should probably play it before buying it though. what's tropico like? i keep seeing it pop up and i've considered giving it a go |
demigod!
06.28.14 | half life 1 doesn't hold up at all but half life 2 is totally timeless and everyone should play it |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | & episodes 1 & 2? |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.28.14 | half life series is my favorite series, seriously, playing them in order is an experience every gamer should feel |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.28.14 | Has anyone played Alan Wake?, I want a game with a good trama |
demigod!
06.28.14 | episodes 1 and 2 are just as essential as hl2 and just as good, play em all
|
MrSirLordGentleman
06.28.14 | Before doing it at least check how the story of hl1 is, afterall, it's the story what makes it so epic |
demigod!
06.28.14 | yeah. that or play the fan made hl1 remake, black mesa
I haven't played it yet myself but apparently its great |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.28.14 | Actually it's awesome, but it's not full yet, the last 2 chapters are still being created |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | man I need to watch my spending |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.28.14 | Nah, spend, spend
Gaben needs money to stay alive so he can realease half life 3 |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | I mean are these games just classics cos they were so revolutionary for their time
cos I'd call Halo CE a classic but if I were only playing it for the first time now I'd probably get bored of it |
demigod!
06.28.14 | They're masterpieces of visual storytelling. Revolutionary too I suppose, but more than just that. Can't really say that about Halo 1. |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.28.14 | HL1 was revolutionary, but for today's standards is not that interesting
HL2 on the other hand, has a physics system that's still among the coolest ever, also, its story is one of the most interesting things I've seen (G-Man best video game character ever, for real)
Anyway, as I said, at least check how hl1 (and it's 3 expansions) goes, so you can understand hl2's story better |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.28.14 | Also, after the episodes, you MUST play Portal 1 and 2 |
anarchistfish
06.28.14 | already played portal lol
good games, especially 2
